The State Department slammed former United Nations envoy John Bolton over his suggestion that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton falsely claimed a concussion to avoid a potentially embarrassing appearance before Congress to explain the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

“I ran outta gas! I had a flat tire! I didn’t have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from outta town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts!! It wasn’t my fault I swear to God!!!”

As they should. Since when is a hangover classified as a concussion?

(Don't think for a minute that this excuse for a President has America's best interest in mind.)

I’m on the fence on this. I don’t necessarily believe Hillary’s cover story, but I also think (at the moment) that Bolton’s comment was a little over the top. I’ll wait for the other shoe to drop before I reach an opinion.

Since Bolton is a conservative, the DBM will pursue this (non)”story” until Bolton issues an “apology” and his head is lopped off for being a conservative.

In case you don’t recognize it, we have become the America that Ayn Rand described at the end of Atlas Shrugged. Corrupt, bloated government; union thugs; anti-business environment; phony climate concerns and an anti-American, muslim POTUS born in Kenya. All that’s missing is Galt’s Gulch.

“Its unfortunate that in times like this people make wild speculation based on no information”

That’s right, we have no information, no doctor’s report, neuro exam, or hospital record. Maybe she could get an excuse from one of those University doctors in Madison, WI that were giving out medical excuses for teachers that skipped school to go to the Capitol and protest.

A well connected Republican (not me) whispered in my ear that Hillary, who is leaving the Administration, is simply unwilling to read from Obama's script any longer. I have a hard time getting warm to the idea of Hillary Clinton: Paragon of Virtue, but I can certainly understand not wanting to lie for Obama. Especially if one harbored ambitions down the road.

This is not implausible. After all, it is not Hillary who would likely be embarassed by truthful testimony. Why should she risk perjury and a long running death of a thousand cuts to shield captain zero?
